Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Bukayo Saka, along with Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber, are currently doubts for the upcoming home game against Liverpool.

Arteta described the situation as “very, very uncertain” regarding their availability.

Saka has been resolving a muscle issue sustained during England’s recent defeat to Greece, which has kept him sidelined for his team’s last few matches.

Timber has been out since October 1, while Calafiori picked up a knee injury in midweek against Shakhtar Donetsk.

All three players missed open training on Friday.

With William Saliba suspended following his red card against Bournemouth and both Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney doubts following their respective injuries.

Arteta may have only four senior defenders available: Ben White, Gabriel Magalhaes, Jakub Kiwior, and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Captain Martin Ødegaard is also out with ligament damage suffered while on international duty.

In his latest statements, Arteta mentioned conducting late fitness tests for all three players.

Calafiori is currently undergoing additional assessments, while Timber is just beginning to get some training involvement after a long recovery.

The situation is fluid, with Arteta expressing hope that Saka can further his training ahead of Sunday.
